The CEO Magazine Asia – July 2019

Norway is leading the charge of the world’s greenest cities.

According to National Geographic, 97% of the country’s

energy currently comes from hydropower, and its government

is pushing its population to fulfil the last 3%.

Most Norwegian homes are installed with smart meters,

which allow them to harvest and store solar energy;

homeowners can sell excess energy to energy companies for

a little extra income. There are currently 200,000 pure electric

vehicles on the roads. Tax breaks have made EVs appealing,

resulting in a 40% increase in their uptake last year. The

government has the ambitious plan that all newly registered

vehicles will be a zero-emission one in six years’ time.
